2003 Jr. USA--picture of me...

[Lorraine]

I placed 3rd in Figure and 6th in Fitness. I have a pulled hamstring and wasn't able to do my routine as good as I know I could have, but I did the best I could. I was actually tied for 5th, but when they broke the tie I got knocked out of the top 5. Oh well...
I'm still happy about placing 3rd in Figure, especially since there was some really tough competition in my class.

Other pictures can be seen in my Personal Photo Gallery

Thanks guys! And, yes, Dero, you can say that I look mighty fine. I was feeling mighty fine after doing so well in my first National Level competition.

In a few weeks I'll be in Pittsburgh before Jim Manion and a lot of the other big IFBB judges again. I'm shaking in my heels

No, I wasn't there (unfortunately). Malcom Marshal , who placed first in super heavy weight, trains at my gym. He brought in a lot of pics. I'll have to pour over them again to see if you are in any of them.

[Rissole]

Well done Lorraine, You look amazing

 

[Tank316]

awesome!!!! great job.

Gosh...you guys are so sweet! I feel like such a schmoe because I don't have the time lately to visit/post more often.

I hope to take a little break after Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure now. My trainer may want me to do Jr. Nationals which I wasn't originally planning on doing.

I was definitely doing BodyRock again in July, but since they don't allow crossovers at that show I haven't decided which division I want to compete in (Fitness or Figure).

The routine round really beats my body up. I am so sore after a show I can barely move for days afterward. I think it's a combination of the hard floor, the adrenaline and the fact that you just go all out balls to the walls. Many of us compare bruises backstage after our routines. It's pretty sad.

hows your hamstring? getting better i hope

 

[Lorraine]

Rissole~That is a weird expression...isn't it? But there's no way else to express it. The adrenaline is high and you know you have to go out there and give it your all in your routine for the judges.

Tank~my hamstring is coming along. It's has really started to loosen up the past couple of days. I just have keep streeeeeetching it.

 

[Tank316]

glad to hear it, good luck in the future Dragon Lady!!!

 

[gopro]

Wow...just saw this thread. Honest opinion...you look truly fantastic! What a great shape you have. Beautiful, just beautiful. Congratulations!

 

[Lorraine]

Thanks GoPro!

More good news...
I placed 1st in Fitness and 2nd in Figure in Pittsburgh last weekend.

I had not planned on doing Jr. Nationals in June, but my friends and trainer have convinced me that I should. So, I'm headed to Chicago.

And after a little arm twisting, Monica and her co-promoter convinced me to do her show (BodyRock-Monica Brant Fitness Classic) again in July.

When am I going to get to eat?

Since my hubby didn't attend this show, I don't know when I'll see pictures from the show. However, keep an eye out for a little article on me on www.bodysport.com. Terry Goodlad, the editor, was there shooting the event and is in the process of writing a short piece on me.

Also, keep an eye out in Flex and Ironman for coverage from the contest. They were also there covering the show.
